A reminder of the benefits of small-sided games:  - more touches of the ball
- more shots on goal
- repeated decision-making experience
- the ball is played far more often
- the emphasis is on player development rather than winning or losing
- more 1 v 1 attacking situations
- the game is easier to understand
- freedom of expression - no positions in early stages
- less perceived stress on players
- less perceived pressure from coaches and parents
- parents more likely to volunteer for SSG game leader roles
- children enjoy the progressive and sequential game formats.
